Golden Girl

It might be significant that there have been these 2 base updates since Freedom went live

It's a nightmare zone

Because there are enough heroes to uphold the ideals of truth, justice and the American way - when the world gets darker, that just makes the lights shine brighter

They gave a little base boost recently with stacking

It's coming during the I22 development period, so that could be soon after I22 goes live, or in an I22.5 mini-Issue.

Staff Fighting Incarnate level Tsoo are another matter

Hop on the Beta server and find out

Metalic minidresses are streetwear in Korea?

You do know that the Trials were being designed at the same time as GR, don't you?
Or do ou think that they were just planning to give us 3 level shifts for things like the ITF?
The change in the I18 beta was Mender Ramiel's arc - originally, the Alpha slot could just be unlocked with reward merits, but a lot of players asked for a more story-based unlock, so we got the Incarnate intro arc.
The Praetorian war was always a part of the GR storyline, right form the very first info we got on GR.

It's possible he could pursue us - plus, we've git a good chance to beat down one of the major loyalists and add to Tyrant's problems.
We're not just doing hit and run attacks, or only tyring to teach Tyrant and the loyalists a lesson - the purpose of the war is to totally destroy the dictatorship - the more top loyalists we take out of the picture, the weaker Tyrant's grip on power becomes.
Each Trial deals with aspects of the dictatorship that were revealed in GR - and step by step we're dismantling the fascist state that he's set up, attacking his brain-washing and prison system, his military might, his power supply for creating Warworks, his propaganda network, his thought police, and discovering the truth about his "victory" over the Hamidon, and the lies he's told the people that he claims he's "protecting".
Right now, Tyrant's in a very difficult situation, with his key henchpeople dropping fast, his support amongst the population collapsing, and the various arms of state repression being damage, taken over or outright destroyed - but that makes him all the more dangerous, because he's likely to try just about anything now to try and hold on to his crumbling empire - including forming some kind of alliance with the Hamidon.

That's probably because Sean McCann's handle is Dr. Aeon - Synapse is used by Phil Zeleski.

He's already been "banished" to Lambda Sector follwoing the events in the First Ward stroyline - hiding or destroying the Pacification Grenades could have a fatal result for him if it was discovered - he's already displeased Tyrant, so going and doing something that would seem to show that he's planning on turning against Tyrant wouldn't really be a smart move.
Marauder is in a similar position to Anti-matter - both have fallen out of favor with Tyrant, even though they're both still loyal to him - doing anything that could be interpreted as turning against him wouldn't fit their goals.
Tyrant treats people as tools to be used for his project of keeping humanity enslaved - if someone's abilities make them the best for the job, then they get the job - their morality doesn't matter at all, and he's confident enough in his own power to employ dangerous people to work for him.
For example, Mother Mayhem is a monster, but she's also an incredibly powerful psychic, so she gets the job of running the psychic thought police, because her abilities make her the most suitable for the job - just like Chimera is an elite assassin and intelligence operative, so he's the best choice to run the imeprial spy network, even though he's an unstable control freak.
Marauder is a violent thig, but he's also very good at weeding out the "week" elements in the Powers Division, making them a stronger and more efficient force, so Tyrant employs him as head of the powers Division.
All the Praetors are dangrous archvillains, but they serve Tyrant's purposes very well.

So just the one costume part that really should be male-only? You'll need to come up with more than that of you want to support the need for special stuff just for the boys

Cimeroran helmets are also kinda locked into a certain look, but that didn't stop the devs making them

Biker, constrution worker, cowboy, soldier?

Do you have any examples of something that should be a male-exclusive item?

I think you'll be surprised at just how creative the players will be with the Chinese stuff

Here are the full details:

By taking out Lambda Sector, we're able to step up our assault on the loayalists by moving on to take contol of the Keyes Island reactors.

The Pacification grenades were made on Tyrant's orders to have a way of taking down Marauder if he got out of control - storing them close to him is more effective for taking him down than storing them on the other side of the city - kinda like putting fire extinguishers in a building rather than having to go to the fire department to collect one if you need it.

Well, so far they've made Halloween, Winter/New Year, Valentine's Day and now Chinese New Year costume packs, so it's not totally impossible that there could be a patriotic one for July 4th.

This is such a gorgeous dress - I have one like it at home, but without the back ties - but I think that I'll need to buy one with them now

If the game's not fun, then why would people be interested in getting rewards from it?

EDIT: And now the Roman pack is up too:


By the way, I don't think that these are the ones that they're going to show on UStream tomorrow
